<p>The n-body problem is a classic puzzle in physics (and thus astrophysics) and mathematics that deals with predicting the motion of multiple celestial objects that interact with each other through gravitational forces. </p>
-<p>Imagine you are observing a <em>cosmic dance</em> between multiple celestial bodies, all tugging on one another as they move through space. The n-body problem aims to undersand and predict the paths of these objects as they move through space.</p>

<p>When <code>n=2</code>, i.e we have only two objects, say the Earth and the Moon, we can easily apply Newtonian physics to predict their motion. However, when <code>n&gt;2</code>, the problem becomes much more difficult to solve analytically.[1] This is because each object feels the gravitational pull from all other objects, and thus the equations of motion become coupled and non-linear. </p>
-<p>As the number of objects increases, finding an exact solution becomes impossible, and we rely on analyticals approximations.</p>
